Cicaplast Balm B5+

Excellent barrier-repair balm that's dermatologist-backed for irritated skin, but heavy occlusives limit everyday use. Efficacy score of 4.3 reflects high-position panthenol (~5% per brand claim), madecassoside for soothing/repair, shea butter emollients, glycerin humectants, and prebiotic Tribioma complex supporting microbiome — ideal for compromised barriers without needing actives. If you're looking for fragrance-free skincare or sensitive skin care, this is worth evaluating.

This is a fragrance-free skincare formula, making it suitable as fragrance-free skincare for sensitive skin. The Tier 2 active ingredients in La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ are 5% Panthenol, Madecassoside, Shea Butter, Glycerin, and the Tribioma prebiotic complex (Vitreoscilla Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide). No major irritants were detected.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ has a safety score of 4.9/5. No major irritants were detected in the formula. As a fragrance-free balm suitable for sensitive skin care, it avoids common triggers for reactivity. La Roche-Posay markets it as suitable for adults, children, and babies, including post-procedure use.

Based on its formulation, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ is best suited as a barrier-repair balm for dry, irritated, chapped, or chafed skin. It's particularly useful as moisturizer for sensitive skin, post-procedure recovery (e.g., retinol burn, after-peel), and dry winter cheeks. The silicone-heavy occlusive base may feel heavy on healthy, balanced skin used for daily everyday use.

DemythSkin recommends: CeraVe Healing Ointment — Similar occlusive barrier repair with ceramides at lower price, less silicone-heavy. Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream — Comparable soothing repair with postbiotic Sucralfate, equally gentle for irritations. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 UV SPF 50 — Same formula with added SPF for daytime barrier protection.

Based on DemythSkin's INCI analysis, no fragrance, parfum, or essential oils were detected in La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+'s formula. This makes it a strong candidate as a fragrance-free moisturiser for dry skin or fragrance-free skincare for sensitive skin care routines. Always cross-check the current label as formulas can change.
